Prayer for dads

Lord Jesus, You are the Prince and Savior, exalted to give repentance. Even my repentance is a gift from You, not something I earn. I have been trying to make myself feel bad enough, but the verse says it comes from You. So I ask You for it. Specifically. About the way I spoke to my wife last night. About the corner of my work I have been cutting. About the longer-running pattern I do not know how to break. Give me real repentance, not just regret. Turn me, gently and fully. I am Yours; do what only You can do in me.

Amen.
